No matter if you do video editing, graphic design, 3D animation, architectures or if you are just an allrounder or even a gamer  the latest Intel Xeon E3-1200 v5 processors offering great performance at an affordable price. Today we are testing on OCinside.de the new ASRock E3v5 WS Intel C232 workstation motherboard with an Intel Xeon E3-1230 v5 LGA1151 CPU as well as with an Intel Core-i5 6600K LGA1151 CPU.

There have been huge advancements in the lens technology found in today's smartphones, but it's still commonly the low point of the experience. The Asus ZenFone Zoom hopes to reverse that trend. To do that, Asus' latest phone packs in a snapper that's capable of 3x optical zoom, a unique capability that allows you to magnify a photo without seeing any of the added visual artifacts caused by digital zoom. The Zoom isn't the first smartphone to have optical zoom.

Call me arrogant, but more often than not, I would consider myself to be a pretty decent debater. In my personal opinion, winning an argument comes down to several key areas: Facts, logic, and strategies. If you have extensive knowledge of the topic, good logical flow of your position, and a well-defined game plan to maximize the focus on your strongest key points while exploiting your opponent's weakest arguments, chances are you are already on the road to victory. However, this is not always how it works in real life. I have a friend who is obviously a bit crazy, and I am pretty sure most of our common friends will agree. One time, I was with her and another friend, and we were arguing about whether she was crazy or not. "Why is she crazy? She is not crazy," my other friend said. "Yeah she is, everyone-" I began, only to be quickly interrupted. "No she is not. If she is crazy, then I am crazy too. Are you saying something?" At that point, I decided to keep my mouth shut on this issue, and change the topic instead. As good as I may be as a debater, and how my other friend's argument is quite questionable at best in both facts and logic, the moral of the story is never argue with women -- especially when there are two of them working together on the same side. Likewise, if I was looking for a powerful network appliance, something equipped with an Intel Celeron N3050 and 2GB of RAM is certainly not be the first thing that comes into my mind. However, if you combine that hardware with a great operating system and used purposefully in the right environment, everything can change, just like how my friends teamed up together to debate on one issue. Today, we will take a look at ASUSTOR's latest 2-bay NAS, the AS3102T. Will it be able to exhibit the synergetic power of relatively modest hardware with the company's excellent ADM operating system once again? Read on to find out!

Corsair's Void Surround headset promises universal device compatibility and surround-sound immersion, thanks to an included Dolby 7.1 USB dongle that works with Corsair's CUE software to do its thing. We put the Surround to the test with games and music to see whether it offers a more immersive experience than the average stereo headset.

One of the advancements brought forth by DDR4 is support for higher density memory modules of up to 128GB. While those extra-large modules aren't available yet, there has been a trickle down effect whereby smaller 16GB modules are now widely available, relatively inexpensive, and compatible on consumer-oriented motherboards. That last part is important, because while there have been 16GB DDR3 modules as well, the absolute size limit for that technology, they are all Registered ECC variants intended for servers or workstations.

Considering the fact that one of the standout features of the Skylake platform is support for up to 64GB (4x16GB) of system memory - Haswell & Broadwell were limited to 32GB - we thought it was time to test out a larger yet still relatively affordable memory kit. Looking back in time, when the Haswell-E LGA2011-3 platform launched we had the opportunity to review a quad-channel 32GB DDR4-2133 memory kit from Crucial. Not only was it the cheapest 32GB kit available at the time - a mere $420 USD / $450 CAD - but it overclocked pretty well considering its low default frequency.

With this in mind, we decided to test out Crucial's new CT2K16G4DFD8213 model, which is a dual-channel 32GB memory kit that features two 16GB modules clocked at DDR4-2133 with 15-15-15-36 timings at a low 1.20V. Despite these sleepy JEDEC-following specs, this model retails for about $200 USD / $275 CAD, which is actually higher than quite a few factory overclocked 32GB memory kits that are currently available. While Crucial's renowned lifetime warranty is obviously a selling point, since it is a feature that they pioneered, it has also become a norm among all popular RAM manufacturers.
